It’s the AAA gaming industry, save for a few studios.

Indie and independent games are getting better and better.

And people are to blame really, as much as the studios. They will stop when people stop giving them money for it. Hopefully it's soon.

unfortunately for every 10 people who voted with their wallet, 100 more people get into gaming and are completely unaware of these shitty practices.
